Quotes 

• Alex Shaw : Relationships based on extreme circumstances never work out.

• Annie Porter : His name's Geiger.

  Alex Shaw : Oh.

  Annie Porter : Yeah, yeah. We talked.

  Alex Shaw : Doesn't seem very interested in Golf for someone who had a fit about his clubs though.

  Annie Porter : Why do you say that?

  Alex Shaw : Well, tournament's on right behind him - he hasn't even glanced at the TV.

  Annie Porter : You're absolutely right. Honey, I think we need to go and arrest him.

  [Annie starts to make her way towards the bar] 

  Annie Porter : [calling]  Excuse me! Excuse...

  Alex Shaw : [grabs Annie]  Whoa, whoa, whoa whoa.

  Annie Porter : Oh honey, you just wanted a hug. I'll give you hug. You're so sweet. Baby I've gotta ask you to do me a favour. Something I've never asked you to do before.

  Alex Shaw : What's that?

  Annie Porter : I need you to believe me.

  Alex Shaw : Oh no, no I don't...

  Annie Porter : Oh yes. Yes. Just one of 'em please. One on please. Do you feel it? Do you feel it?

  Alex Shaw : [unsure]  I think so.

  Annie Porter : [rocking tone]  Come on baby.

  [Alex and Annie dance across the deck and the Seabourn Legend sounds its horn as the camera pans out] 

• Alex Shaw : [positively]  We gotta spend some time together. We'll get to know each other. Let's go away together.

  Annie Porter , Alex Shaw : [not convinced]  OK, where?

  Alex Shaw : [positively]  Caribbean.

  Annie Porter : [annoyed]  Oh, the Caribbean, do you have a concussion? We work 6 days a week, Alex. We've never even been away for a weekend.

  [Alex takes a plastic blue envelope out of his pocket and shows it to Annie] 

  Alex Shaw : I was gonna surprise you tonight, but uh...

  [Annie opens the envelope, revealing tickets] 

  Alex Shaw : [looking at the tickets]  It's a cruise.

  Annie Porter : [annoyed]  This is so unfair, Alex. You can't just pull out tickets to some... exotic island and think that's gonna make everything OK.

  Alex Shaw : [Annie starts walking away and Alex follows her]  I don't expect I can make everything all right. But, you know, if you thought we could...

  [Alex puts his arm around Annie but she moves his arm off and turns around] 

  Annie Porter : [annoyed]  No don't *do* that. I wanna be depressed right now. I don't want you to like, do that. Don't!

  Alex Shaw : All right! All right!

  [Alex tries to kiss Annie] 

  Annie Porter : [annoyed]  Don't.

  Alex Shaw : [positively]  I won't.

  [Alex kisses Annie and she puts her arms around him] 

• Alex : Go faster.

  Maurice : Give me one good reason!

  Alex : If you don't, I'll push you off the boat.

  Maurice : That's a good reason.

• Alex Shaw : I gotta get my girl.

• Alex Shaw : [armed with a gun near a computer in Geiger's room]  It ends now. I know who you are.

  John Geiger : [over a speaker]  I know you too. You look a little wet. You see Alex, I designed this whole Auto Pilot system. My company sold it off to almost every shipping line in the world. But when I got sick, they fired me. I had no defence, they just... threw me away. But now, I have a more aggressive defence system.

  [using his computer, Geiger arms an explosive behind the computer near Alex] 

  John Geiger : [crafty]  Tell me Alex, did you ever have a full sense of security?

  [the words "Good Bye Alex" appear on the computer screen and Alex quickly exits the room as Geiger laughs and detonates the explosive] 

• Annie Porter : This night seems almost too perfect.

  Alex Shaw : Want me to step on your feet?

  Annie Porter : You already did.

  Alex Shaw : Oh, I mean again?

• Merced : We can not stop the ship!

  Alex Shaw : Then we have to slow it down.

  Merced : What are you gonna do, are you gonna let the air outta our tires?

• [repeated line] 

  Alex Shaw : I'll be right back.

• Alex Shaw : [referring to the flooding of the ballast room]  How much longer?

  Merced : Look, I've never let a million gallons of water into a ship before. Gimme a second.

• Alex Shaw : [after telling Merced to open the ballast doors]  SHIT! CLOSE IT, CLOSE IT, CLOSE IT

  Merced : YOU JUST TOLD ME TO OPEN THEM!
